Colorado is a swing state that is desperately needed by Barack Obama if he is going to have a chance to win the 2012 Presidential Election. Now it seems that the Obama supporters in Colorado are turning away in large numbers from more government spending as a solution.

A Colorado ballot initiative (Proposition 103) would have raised both income and sales taxes in Colorado to provide $2.9 billion more for Colorado schools and colleges. The people of Colorado definitively rejected the initiative during the Colorado election on Tuesday, as schools are receiving more than enough money.
